Ingredients
  • 6 large egges
  • 5 Tablespoons whipped cream cheese
  • 1 Tablepsoon capers in brine
  • 7 oz smoked salmon (not lox)
  • pinch garlic salt
  • fresh cracked pepper
  • 4 cups baby spinach and arugula (or any mixed baby greens)
  • 1 Tablespoon virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • 2 large avocadoes
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. First, put the eggs, 1 Tablespoon of the whipped cream cheese, and a pinch of garlic salt into a large bowl and whisk until everything is fully incorporated. You can use a blender or emersion blender. I used a hand whisk.

  2. Gently stir in the capers.

  3. Rub some oil in the bottom of a heavy casserole dish.

  4. Pour the egg mixture in and bake at 350° for about 20 to 30 minutes. The eggs will rise a little and get lightly browned on top. Test for doneness by putting a pick in the middle. It will come out clean when it's done. 

  5. While it's cooking, rub the greens with the oil and vinegar. I use my fingers and gently massage it. Add some salt and pepper to taste.

  6. When it's done, remove from the oven and let it cool 3 or 4 minutes. 

  7. While it's cooling, mix the remaining whipped cream cheese with the cream and spread it over the top, then add the salmon.

  8. To serve, place some greens on the plate and top with a piece of frittata. Add a little avocado and voila! It's brunch!
